Sucre, Bolivia

Sucre is a town out of a fairy tale book, with its orange coloured rooves clustered amongst the rolling green hills.

Although the government and activity of the capital city is in La Paz, from the beginning, the Bolivian constitution holds Sucre as the Capital City. In August 2007 there will be a revision of the constitution to try and either make La Paz the official capital or move the government to Sucre. Obviously there is much conflict throughout the country over this. I´m glad to be in Bolivia now and not in four months...




There were great views of the city from the roof of this church.
Diego!!! Here he is in the Casa de la Libertad where the first constitution was signed and Simon Bolivar lead the country into independence.









In Sucre we sadly said good bye to our German buddies Jonas and Philip AND our Chilean buddy Diego, leaving us Canadian chicas once again on our own.
